VITAL STATISTICS.
Population.
In accordance with the prevailing custom, I have adopted the
Registrar-General's estimate of the population for the purposes of this
Report, and this was calculated to have been 86,160 at the middle of the
year 1927.
I have prepared the following estimates, based upon the Census figures, of the population of each Ward.
| Ward. | Estimated Population. |
|---|---|
| No. 1 (Town) | 12,790 |
| No. 2 (Belsize) | 13,790 |
| No. 3 (Adelaide) | 10,400 |
| No. 4 (Central) | 9,500 |
| No. 5 (West End) | 13,490 |
| No. 6 (Kilburn) | 15,590 |
| No. 7 (Priory) | 10,600 |
| The Borough | 86,160 |
Marriages.
According to the return kindly furnished to me by the Superintendent
Registrar of Hampstead, it appears that 760 marriages were
registered in the Borough during 1927, as compared with 678 in the
preceding year.
The marriage rate was 17.6 per 1,000 of the population, as compared
with the rate of 15.5 in 1926.
